Czolgosz was put on trial and convicted
in a few hours. May be [sic] a trial was not necessary at all since he
openly confessed his guilt, but one wonders what sort of lawyers he had, that
they against all traditions of their craft, lent themselves not to efforts against
expediting their client to the scaffold. The court must have known its business
when it appointed them to defend him. He can not be got out of the way any too
soon for the good of the country.
